Update on Research

I am finding somethings on my career field. I am majoring in IPC and my career choice is Event planner-coordinator and i will be minoring in marketing. I have found some information about the communication aspect of the career and am finding more and more as i search. I was having some trouble with this in the beginning but now am figuring out what to write about.

Project Thus Far

So far I have gathered research on what I wanted my major to be (Supply Chain Management) and reseach on what I want it be (event planning with a minor in marketing). I have looked into the history behind both professions. As far as event planning goes, I have done more research on the logistics behind the profession and have gotten a better insight as to the types of jargon and phrases that are used by people efficient in this field.

My career field is to become a full-time Corporate Executive Officer, and become a part-time venture capitalists. I also plan to completely understand how all of the organizations in the business world operate from accountants to lawyers. I hope to my student organizations and honor societies (that I am a part of and want to be in) and apply them critically to my career field. My main career goal is to easily be able to help anyone who does not understand about the business world in any area, and prevent any illegal action that may jeopardize the company that I work for and my future.

My problems is that I feel that I don't have enough efficient sources that can help me with my project. My question is that can you help us give us general sources. Such as a laws, business, and communicationable resources.

Response for Wednesday 10/10

I actually know a lot about the field that I want to go into thanks in part to being involved with BGSU's chapter of PRSSA. The research I've found thus far for this project is decent but I'm just not sure if it's what I need. The project itself still kind of confuses me to be honest.

October, 9 2007

My progress for the third paper is going along smoothly. I already know quite a bit about my career field so everything that I am learning is a helpful reminder of what I need to be aware of and consistently focus on. My career field is Pharmaceutical or Bio-Tex sales. I also attended the job fair Tuesday and learned a lot about a company called Medtronic. They are a bio medical sales and marketing company that helps alleviate pain for people with diabetes. One question I might have is whether or not you're supposed to ask questions in an interview such as; How much will I be getting paid?

Education

My career field that I am in is Education for this project. So far I have found all of my sources that I will need in order to complete this paper. I am currently brainstorming / creating an outline of how I want my paper to be structured, once I figure that out I will be able to beging my rough draft soon. When searching my sources, I found out that my career field had a lot of issues that I didn't know about previously. The National Education Association website which is one of my main sources, lists a lot of issues that are taking place. Testing and achievement gaps are issues I already knew about but I didn't know that professional pay was a big one or teacher shortages, or transgendered students were issues also. As for questions on this project, they have all been answered in an email. I'm using the issue of achievement gap and anaylizing my sources from this within my field to understand how my field communicates about this topic.
